Quarter of Young Adults in U.K. Not Vaccinated Against Covid
Young Brits aged 18 and up have been able to get their first dose of a Covid vaccine since late June. Since this time, there have been numerous ad campaigns telling the young they will “miss out on the good times” if they don’t get ‘jabbed’, constant offers of petty bribes, including free burgers (and some not-so-petty bribes, including a £5,000 cash prize) incentivising vaccination and the underlying threat of vaccine passport checks at nightclubs and other ‘large venues’.
All of this has been intended to “coax and cajole” the young into getting ‘jabbed’, but the latest figures show that one in four young adults in the U.K. still haven’t come forward. The Independent has the story.
In total, 2.76 million people aged between 18 and 29 years-old were yet to receive a first dose on Wednesday – down only slightly from an estimated 2.81 million the previous week, according to figures released by the U.K.’s four national health agencies.
Their latest estimates suggest that the percentages of people in this age group still unvaccinated range from 23.5% in Wales, 29.2% in Northern Ireland, 25.6% in Scotland and 27.7% in England. …
Following reports in late July that Boris Johnson was said to be “raging” about the low uptake among young people, the Government has launched a host of initiatives encouraging young people to get inoculated, ranging from publicity campaigns to pop-up vaccination centres. …
Despite these initiatives, the latest figures suggest there is still a significant portion of young adults reluctant to have the vaccine.
In Birmingham, more than half of the population in that age group have still not received a vaccine dose, according to analysis by the PA news agency – making it the local authority in England with the highest estimated percentage of unvaccinated 18 to 29 year-olds.
The next highest is Coventry at 49.8%, followed by Liverpool with 46.7%, and the London borough of Islington, where 46.4% of people in that age group are yet to receive a jab.
In total there are 54 local authority areas in England where at least one third of young adults have yet to receive a vaccine dose.
These include the big cities of Manchester, Leicester, Sheffield and Leeds.

Whatever the reason for not availing themselves of the wonderjab, I think they’re doing themselves a big favour. I’m surprised the Bootsies and Nudgers haven’t worked out that bullying people doesn’t work.
Yet again, it’s all political and a “Save Johnson’s Backside” thing. The Castlereagh of today, completely unhinged.

They’ve been pretty quiet about it, and we all know the wrath of the quiet is something to really beware of…
Boris watch out, you’re Carrieservative party is DEAD.
Yes, smart enough to interpret “miss out on the good times” for the blackmailing propaganda it is.
And maybe they’ve been listening to people such as this respiratory therapist.
Regardless of your view of vaccines if the proportion of people in these age groups who have previously had a dose of the rona were added to the vaxxed I would bet it’s at least as high as the level amongst over 80s.
Begs the question, why keep harassing the young people?
Because the corrupt MHRA doesn’t want a substantial control group, would be my guess.
Similar to the FDA and the spurious approval of Pfizer, still based upon the pitiful 40k test people, rather than the millions of vaccinated and the VAERS casualty lists. It’s the “hide a tree in the forest” approach.
I understand that in Australia there is a proposal for a legal requirement that everybody must down-load a covid surveillance app. That presupposes that everybody has a smart-phone. It also indicates why they want 100% vaccine take up, so they can put all this on your Covid digital i.d. app.
Charlie Watts, the Rolling Stones drummer died last week, he stated in a recent interview that he had never had a mobile phone, apparently annoyed the hell out of Mick Jagger, sounds good to me. The frightening prospect is that it will not be long before you cannot operate in modern society without a smart phone with your covid status, credit status and state of mind all loaded up and available for the authorities to check as they will.
I’ve never had one, don’t intend to get one.
Legal requirement to download an app?
Yeah, right.
The problem is that this is exactly how this tyranny is unfolding. A bunch of assholes in position of authority try their luck and attempt to force people to do something, claiming they have the authority to make that imposition.
The population, who for the most part don’t really have a clue about what is the law and what isn’t, assume these people have the authority to impose this new rule and so dutifully comply.
It’s a sick con job. Half of the stuff they are pushing on people isn’t legally enforceable when push comes to shove. But most people simply don’t want to shove back.
We’re really just dumb animals that happen to be good at making and using tools.
When I was in the UK I refused to have any apps on my phone – don’t want to be tracked.
regrettably over here in Thailand I have to have not but two. Now I am not saying how long they will be on my phone though!!!
I have a “mobile phone image” that runs on my computer….
I can make it do most things too.
I could teleport to anywhere on the planet as the GPS is programmable.
Sounds good. Any more details?

Interesting have you
Also used something like “Hushed” to get a mobile number without the need for a sim card?
Begs the question, why keep harassing the young people?
To control, sterilise, maim and kill.
And microchip which will eventually replace the vaccine passport.
They want to 100% of the population to be included in their health surveillance system. The COVID jab is the best chance they have to succeed.
And it seems to be working. 75% take up? For an untested jab that’s unnecessary for most people? In just 8 months? That is a stunning success. I don’t think they really expected this level of success.
They know the window of opportunity won’t be open for ever and they are pushing like maniacs.
All true, except remove the word “health” from the first sentence.
The Independent is never worth reading. I would expect the REAL statistics to be much higher.
Boris is ‘raging’ is he? Who the f**k does he think he is??! The cheek of these people, they have utter contempt for the people who voted for them! I bet there’s plenty of people who’s lives have been affected by his fascist policies who would love to have a word with him and show him what ‘raging’ really is! Tosser!
Are there any other descriptive attributes of this unvaccinated group?
I for one am glad Boris is raging. Us under 30’s aren’t all gullible or easily bribed by the promise of a free kebab. It’s actually insulting to our intelligence to think we’d compromise our health, and future health, for a cash prize or the threat of being barred from a nightclub.
Well done. 👏
Hold. Your. Line.
Promic https://promic.info/exemption-forms have a vaccination exemption form that can be signed by your doctor or you can self-exempt. The group is supported by health professionals from two organisations fighting for medical freedom and informed consent: @ukmfa1
and @anhcampaign
Boris is raging that people won’t get jabbed for something that is of no consequence and doesn’t stop infection or transmission. What an utter twat
People are being injured and have died from this toxic brew, but no one in MSM have noticed or remarked on the fact that none of our politicians have!
Same here!
Interesting point. And apart from Boris who, we are told, was close to death with it (and oddly he seemed to change tack while he was in hospital…probably someone “warned” him what might happen if he didnt change policies?!), how many British MPs have been hospitalised with it?
That illness was a ginormous piece of luck for the Faucists.
Sweden Bans Travelers From Israel, One of the Most Vaccinated Nations
https://m.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/sweden-bans-travelers-from-israel-one-of-the-most-vaccinated-nations_3978811.html/
what a tangled web
should have just offered it to the hyper-vulnerable
That was the first carrot they dangled before they decided to go full fascist.
… and killed off more of them more quickly? (See the graphed line of all-cause mortality in December).
Should’ve offered early dexamethasone to the vulnerable if their temp spikes.
Dropped all the clot-shots in the bin. Just think a nation properly immunised by most catching the hobgoblin (not just the clot protein and thus stopping re-infection with variants) will be totally ahead of the game.,
In other words, the people statistically the least at risk from Covid have not been jabbed.
This should not be news but it is.
its hardly even a cold for the cohort Boris is ‘raging’ about. I’m 51 and it barely qualified as a sniffle. it sounds like he’s gone mad. its just incoherent. it doesn’t stop you getting it or passing it on – in all likelihood increases it by suppressing symptoms (which might otherwise have you lying in bed). I know jabbing everyone including babies + quarterly boosters for the whole world makes the Pharma industry happy, but its not sensible – we are still waiting for long term safety data
I’ve been keeping an eye on The Spectator’s tracker for some time. The numbers in the 18-34 age groups have barely shifted since the propaganda for the young to take their magic juice ratcheted up to 11.
According to this source (and I’m no longer a great fan of The Spectator), a third haven’t had one dose.
See the bar chart called Percentage of each age group vaccinated – England roughly half way down the right hand side of this page – https://data.spectator.co.uk/city/national
The administrative blob has a problem me thinks. Great!
This point needs to be made all the clearer, young people must start telling their doctors that they will refuse vaccination until all passport schemes and other coercion is scrapped. we need doctors going on national TV and saying, “well we’d love to keep vaccinating but by pressing for ID cards this government have turned our patients against vaccination, unless the ID card plans are scrapped I don’t think another person will ever come to me to get vaccinated”.
The other side of that is that once they have had both shots, they’ll turn on the passport system again and everyone is ‘in the system’.
To be fair you could attribute these statistics to a wind range of pointers that allude to the fact that younger people distrust the government and institutions of the State more than any age group. It’s the same across Europe. I was reading some internet privacy statistics recently and older people were generally unaware, oblivious or generally in agreeable towards tighter surveillance, the opposite for younger folk.
The old have failed the young.
This oldie hasn’t! Judging by the photos of queues for the jab it’s the younger generations who are happily going along with this when they should be fighting against it! I grew up in the 60s and 70s when students were out creating mayhem on a weekly basis. Trade Union strikes about workers rights and what have we got today? Total compliance – not a peep from them!
The 60s and 70s weren’t quite like that media image. But you’re right about unquestioning sheepishness not being the dominant mode of thought.
You’re also right about vast generalisations about generations (or any other crude groupings) being bollocks. (Actually quite like the unanalytical pro-vaccine nodding dog mindset).
The old have put the young into VAST amounts of debt too, which the old will get some of the benefit but the young will get the interest bill…
Worst generation EVER…
The old may be unaware of the dangers of modern digital surveillance, but they have eben more vocal against lockdowns since the start I’ve found, too many of the young are facebook addicts hooked on virture signalling.
Jeremy Hunt obviously wants his Pfizer bonus
“The UK should “get on with a booster programme”, former health secretary Jeremy Hunt says, warning that just a few days in a pandemic can make “a big difference”.”
“In a pandemic I think even a few days can make a big difference. So I think we should just get on, not wait for that advice, get on with a booster programme.”
‘following the science?’
Science has certainly not been followed, this Plandemic has been motivated by money not health.
well I think more covering up a robbery (the jab costs are more just buying silence), but it’s a distinction without a difference.
It has always been about Control.
Hunt was always a misplaced consonant – as James Naughtie noted.
Priceless
Pandemic?
He’s been a clear Faucist from the start.
It’s a pity less than 30% of the younger generation have a working brain. In fact it’s a tragedy!
I used to work with a lot of youngsters, and we had the switched on ones! Well, at least what the work required. I certainly tried to talk to them about politics and try to stir something. One of them admitted to me she feels her education is “pass exams”, not “think for yourself”.
Why the verbatim quotations from a biased press?
AS said many times – concede the language and you concede the argument. It would be quite possible to report the story neutrally without doing that.
“there is still a significant portion of young adults reluctant to have the vaccine”
Look at that adjective ‘reluctant’. It’s like ‘hesitant’ – the background, coloured language that builds the world view of the enforcers.
There will be many reasons behind the figures – ranging from total disbelief in the Narrative to ‘Can’t be arsed’ and ‘Forgot’. These are not captured by ‘reluctant’ – implying a particular mindset of ‘a bit nervy about doing the right thing’.
Just state the figures bearing the good news. Sometimes we true Blairites (the guy called ‘Eric’ for the sleepy) despair.
Also “their” vaccines in the intro … young people haven’t had their vaccines implies inevitability, take your medicine, those vaccines are specifically belonging to them and should be taken. Have you had your vaccine yet? is a very loaded question, replacing the simple “Have you had a Covid vaccine?
Because the vaccine related risks actually are higher for this age cohort. When it crosses the threshold (around 25), then people make a logical choice based on their own risk tolerance.
Here is the more important question. What % of 18-29 show antibodies? It is somewhere between 70-75%. Which means that large chunks of this group got “sick,” shrugged it off, and now have a better form of protection with no cost to anyone. And that is exactly what should have been happening from March 2020 to this point. We want this age group to get it, and then move on. They don’t threaten hospitals and they are better off longterm. But we wanted lockdowns on the young and then to provide weaker protection from a vaccine. Idiocy? Lunacy? Corruption?
Easily 75% DCO – maybe more. According to ONS data, as of 18th July 2021 (six weeks ago), 95% of all adults tested positive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and, in the 16-24 age group, almost 80% tested positive.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/antibodies#antibodies-by-age
And that’s just antibodies not T cells.
Are the vaccines the smokescreen for the massive financial pit we are in?
Among other things.
According to UK Column news on 1st Sept. Whilst Australians are locked down in their own homes a big military exercise involving the UK, US and Aus. was taking place with the Chinese watching closely.
So, given you only need 60% for herd immunity*, why are the government bleating about 25% unjabbed? Ordinarily they’d be celebrating and not resorting to coercion and threat, the desperation to get the jab out to the percentage which clearly aren’t willing to get it, despite such high rates of uptake already, would appear to suggest a sinister intention of some kind.
*ok, so the vaccine doesn’t atually do this, it only stops serious symptoms, but the young have largely been infected at one time or another so are above the herd immunity threshold anyway
I am yet to be convinced that it reduces symptoms.
Indeed – how on earth is this proved? I keep hearing of jabbed people who have had Covid-19, felt very poorly, but then claimed it would have been a lot worse without the jabs – how do they know?
I monitor the jab numbers, deaths and adverse effects every week. This chart shows jab mindfulness using its pejorative name – ‘hesitancy’.
As the article says, about a quarter of adults have not taken the first jab. Furthermore, more than a quarter of those who have taken the 1st jab have not returned for a 2nd.
Thanks for this table of info.

Good old Brum. One fears for their clubs though.
